cars, andrew's 5th birthday, june '09

andrew is still a fan of trains, but if it has an engine, it still gets a thumbs up. since i did trains for birthday #4, i decided on cars for #5. i was very intimidated by this cookie cutter. i'll have to scan the sketch i made just to understand what i was doing--i labeled all the fields of color and decided, based on the ability to mix the previous color with the next color, what order i would mix the colors of icing, and in what order i would fill the sections of cookie. notice that the smooth black tire required drying time to repel the blue sugar of the 'paintjob.' that takes planning my friend! :)
